Gracie Barra Costa Mesa

“My 4-year-old daughter has recently started Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at GB Costa Mesa, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very first class, she was captivated by the engaging and a dynamic environment. The instructors are incredibly patient and skilled at making the techniques accessible and fun for young children. My daughter was a little shy and timid at the beginning, but was warmly welcomed and guided by Liz, who was nice enough to sit with her until she got comfortable. What impresses me the most is how much my daughter looks forward to each session. She’s learning not only physical skills but also discipline, respect, and confidence. The sense of accomplishment she feels after each class is evident in her conversations when arriving home to the fam. The dojo has created a welcoming community where children feel supported and encouraged. It's heartwarming to see her making new friends and working together with her peers. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has truly become a highlight of her week, and I’m thrilled to see her growing and thriving in such a positive environment. We entered using a free class trial that GB Costa Mesa offered and by the second trial, I happily signed up my daughter. Thanks GB Costa Mesa!”

“My kids have developed grit, resilience, leadership, respect and discipline over the past few years with GBCM. I cannot say enough good things about our experience. It’s been life changing. Thank you to all the professors and coaches who mentored and helped my kids develop into confident and hard working individuals.”

“We recently enrolled our kids in this jiu-jitsu school, and they absolutely love it! We were specifically looking for a place that offers separate classes based on age groups, and this school does just that. The instructors are fantastic, with several black belt coaches, including one with a 4th degree, which speaks to the level of expertise here. The facility is spacious, clean, and well-organized. They are also doing a great job teaching the kids discipline, which is really important to us. Highly recommend!”

“If you want your child to develop self-discipline, self-confidence, and respect, then this is the place for you! I’ve watched my very shy 4 year-old son turn into such a young gentleman. In just a few months he has improved his ability to self-regulate, try new things, and develop the discipline to get better. Coach Mike and Coach Amy have created a super family friendly environment where you feel they are invested in your child. Liz knows everyone by name and helps you feel comfortable. Wonderful place!”

“Head instructor Professor Mike started a few months back at our school and the transformation of the school is phenomenal! Not only the look and feel of the school, with new mats, changing rooms, televisions for fight nights and instruction video’s, has improved by 1000% also the game plan of many students! The vibe is amazing and there is a real community feeling. If you are planning to start BJJ this is the school you want to be at!”
